There always is.

I had a dream. I dreamed I went to the best fly fishing venue in the
world. Not surprisingly, I was thereafter left with the prospect of
searching out the second best fly fishing in the world.....and then
the third, and the fourth, and the fifth......

And then I woke up to the realization that I had thus far experienced
only the 38,426th best fly fishing in the world......and that there
wasn't a chance in hell that I'd ever experience even the 10,000th
best. Life would, for the duration, be an uphill climb with no hope
of reaching the summit. I would never be cursed with a dismal future
of looking down at a conquered and diminshed world; I would always be
blessed with the promise of looking up in joyful expectation and
anticipation. It makes my neck hurt.....sorta like looking at
warblers in the spring woods. I like that.

On the other hand, I have already fished with the best people in the
world.....and there is no looking down from there.

On the other other hand, them's some fine looking fishies! :)

who spent this morning pestering a bunch of excellent folks ranging in
age from 12 to 74 and learning the rudiments of bird banding.....or
pretending to, anyway. i liked that, too.
